Mar. 3-11, 2017
A man stands on a seventh-storey building ledge and contemplates suicide. Before he can get too far, he is confronted by the self-absorbed (and oftentimes absurd) people who live inside the building. In 7 Stories, multi award winning Canadian playwright, Morris Panych, creates a meta-theatrical gem of a black comedy; full of fanciful characters with a wistfully existential conclusion.

Shows start in October and 'till then I'll be practising the delivery of the line, "Tom, our son is not a dud!" Suggestions welcome.
We made a movie! /
After editing draft after draft, waking up at 2am to add something to my ongoing "to do" list, sorting out schedules, shooting it (that part was fun), editing and sitting with our sound mixer to find the perfect owl hoot, Be Right Back the short film is finally finished!
We've started to submit it to festivals so fingers crossed someone out there thinks it's cool! And enjoys the owl hoot we finally chose.
For now. Some fun stills? Yes pls!
